We are eating frozen rhubarb from our garden, cooked with honey - with a few frozen blueberries thrown in.
We are eating dried plums from the Fall before last. It was a bumper crop. The grapes were a bumper crop this year - I dried BUNCHES of them into raisins. And there are still some I froze out of desperation in dealing with so many... and this is not California! We just had a great, hot summer; we're eating it's sunshine!
We're still buying fresh fruit on a weekly basis. It is a container for all kinds of great nutrients - and flavors!
I am thinking about the Kingdom of YAH - because that is what I always think of! He talks a lot about fruit. There are so many different kinds. And ways of preparation and preservation. All good. We are as the fruit of His labor. Each of us holds flavors and color and unique things to offer to the others. Get Ripened!
Then being invested with the Life of His Spirit within through Y'shua His "Firstfruits" - discover your offering!

Delicious Reflections / An Easy Password
One very early dawn, I witnessed such Beauty at first light, reflected in the smooth water, and stars were bright, with a half moon shining - what Joy!
Yet there is a greater - the Beauty of unseen hosts of upper spiritual places, accessed by permission of Most High, where total immersion in beauty and Glory can alter your consciousness to become more of that realm than this.
Which is handy, since that is our ultimate destination - just need a password! I hear that groaning - another password!?!?! But it's easy to remember:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *YES.YESHUA*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After that initial access you can become even more creative, like He is. For instance, what a sensation is taste! What ingenious concepts of various flavors in our necessary food! ENJOY, ENJOY! TASTE BEAUTY, EVEN!
Probably it's slightly sweet and nutty, like they say manna is: angel food! Delicious AND ENTIRELY Nutritious! How perfect is that!? YUM!
*Yeshua is Jesus' Hebrew name, His nickname anyway, plus: The Messiah.*
OF COURSE YOU CAN USE HIS ENGLISH NAME JESUS CHRIST if you'd rather!!
As a blessing, of course, and not as a curse because I think you don't want a curse. I just use Yeshua because it incorporates the YES! Just for fun. It's all about your intention and heart. I am assuming WHOLE-HEARTED-NESS!

From old-young to young-old is the Ticket
We went to see Star Wars/Force Awakens, finally. We were the only ones in the theater for a long time. Because we are old enough to know better than to go at peak times. Yeah, it was reminiscent of long ago in a galaxy far, far away. When our first son was quite young.
They did a pretty good job of not replicating everything but making it familiar in a good way. The casting is superb. Seeing the "oldsters" had it's effect. This is OUR LIFESPAN TOO! they are portraying.
So I had this "AWAKENING" thought - not that I don't know my REAL age - but once upon a time = last year, I was old-young. Still young but getting "up there".
Now I'm YOUNG-OLD! Older but with Lotsa Life Left! (not as old as Leia:)
That is how Star Wars was a trip BACK IN TIME that was a TICKET TO MY NOW.

The Unseen Is More Valuable
The unseen is better than the see-able so I prefer it. As some do, maybe
many.
Love, Joy, Air, Gravity; the most amazing stuff is not visible to the naked eye.
The effects are seen, felt, experienced, so in that way we do see unseen things already.
But just like the visible, there are good and bad both unseen and seen:
hate, injustice, disease-causing "germs". Exposure to the Good unseen is best, of course - non-detrimental.
To know Goodness and Truth, internal exposure to them is the way to secure them: God IS Goodness. He says to view Him in the Unseen place of the heart, our spirit. Foundational to that is What He says about Himself.
Biblical concepts taken as stated are the elemental beginnings to a deeper relationship with YAH. Yahweh, or Yahuwah. He is Much Larger than His HUGE Universe. Then it becomes more personal - and very, very fun!
His firstborn Son is the catalyst of it all and is very valuable to gaze upon as well. Best to start there, in fact, because He is the exact representation of Yahuwah: the radiance of His Glory. What's not to Love?! Hebrews 1:3

Dark Shining
Sometimes shining seems dark. Aurora Borealis is both. The brightness refers to the darker setting. I was given a pair of Aurora Borealis earrings. They are multi-faceted brown, copper and bluish sides that reflect dark light.
I am used to being off the beaten track, obscure and hidden. This dark light has become my favorite. The stars shine brightly but not in the daytime.
I also have a pair of clear, glass-like earrings. They just showed up in the bottom of a bag of used stuff. I like them, too. Sometimes open, bright shining is best. It is harder for me, but it is a calling.
I have to go with my callings. I'm glad they vary a lot so it's never boring. I love glimmers of moon on dark waters. I love quiet, deep and profound.
Referencing Father takes various coloration. We each have our favorites. The initial Door in is the same but after that - AMAZING flashes of shifting beauty!
He hides Himself in clouds and thick darkness, says the Psalmist. His brilliance is otherwise unapproachable by human beings. There is no darkness IN Him. But His creation like lightning reveals hidden, discreet wonders.

Highest Goal
If you can't seem to believe in something you CAN'T SEE, try this: STOP BREATHING AIR because it's invisible. I am sorry, BUT that's how crazy that is to me. If we could see all of GOD with our human eyes we WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO SEE ANYTHING ELSE! He is LIKE AIR, which He created for US to breathe. We get to see evidences of His presence and it might hit us right. Like trees moving in the wind, we experience all of a sudden, the reality of His very present BEING. If you want to, that is; if you say, OK.
And while you're waiting for a meaningful response on that, Think about this: why does no one believe in BEARING UP under something any more? It has a negative connotation - same as like, being HUMBLED. So - the negative STAYS negative. Yet these turn to POSITIVES in the longer run. Mostly - unless they're REALLY bad and abusive, that is. Ideal or NOTHING?: Unpeaceful, as it turns out. Or: spend yourself out to reach a not-so-worthy goal, focused only on the material? Since it's MY BLOG I can say this: The HIGHEST GOAL in my surmisal is: GENUINE GRACE. That would be both giving and receiving. And you know where that can COME FROM? FROM Bearing With and ALLOWING yourself to be humbled.

There was an Awesome Sunrise this morning - all pink/orange or orange/pink. That's like, Is it love/truth or truth/love? Anyway as I stood gazing I suddenly noticed a rower out there - perfect time to be out, after 6 in the morning, right before dawn. He/she was TOTALLY IMMERSED in that world, enveloped in tinted light infusion. I was happy to see the person pause long enough to saturate, in spite of the work ethic of race-practice: it was a rowing shell; you almost don't see the boat; a person could practically be floating just at the water line.
Before that it was all my favorite stars and big puffs of cloud. And the Big Mountain toward the S.E. Wow - I am so grateful to be here. I will include a photo soon...(still absorbing all this TECH STUFF) ~ Cheerio!
